Making conversation
When retelling an interesting anecdote make sure that you include *every* tiny little remark made in conversation along the lines of, "And he said to me, "Well I never." And I said to him, "Yes, that's right""

And so on. It makes you seem so much more interesting.

Honestly.

My mother is one of those people
Whenever I see her, I always have to sit through at least an hour of "And then he said...and then I said..."

Also include
These phrases at the end of each sentence.

"Know what I mean?"
"You know"
"Like"
"Innit"
"and that"

"I went to the shops and that like, innit, know what I mean?"

My Brother...
Will spend more time remembering the name of someone who said something witty, rather than the witty remark.
The only person I know who could make an alien abduction sound dull.

TOTALLY AGREE
And don't forget to include details of what she was wearing when she said "blah, blah", and why it did not suit her , well you know not with those thighs.....she's a bit like her mother in that respect, you remember her don't you, you do!. Big women, yellow teeth, used to live near the cinema before they knocked it down in 1962.

When talking about other people's conversations
Is there a limit to how far you can recure (eg "So She said to her "So She said to her "So She said to her "So She said to her "So She said to her "So She said to her "So She said to her ... """"""" etc.)?

Too much recursion makes my head asplode.
